Carina Carballo

After shattering her ankle while perfecting a flamenco-inspired slide tackle, this flamboyant Spaniard channeled that pain into becoming the most ruthless defensive midfield engine on the pitch. She dominates play with a brilliant tactical brain and ferocious intensity, though her tendency to get carried away with theatrical fouls often lands her in hot water. At 172cm and 77kg, she is an immovable, lightning-quick fortress that dictates the game's tempo with sheer, uncompromising physicality.
